Saadatmand Appointed Esteghlal GM

On Sunday, Saadatmand was named as the Iranian club’s GM as a replacement for Ali Fathollahzadeh who stepped down from his role on March 14.

Saadatmand was a member of Esteghlal’s Board of Directors.

Saadatmand has a difficult task ahead since Esteghlal must pay its debts to the players to avoid transfer ban.
